Τελευταία επεξεργασία από έναν συντονιστή:
Καλη κινηση μια τετοια ψηφοφορια - ακομα και απλα για να διαφωνησεις μαζι τους.

Παντως υπαρχουν και Ελληνικα κειμενα στη λιστα, πραγμα παρηγορο.
 
Έχω διαβάσει τα περισσότερα από τη λίστα(junky της Δυτικοευρωπαικής-Αμερικάνικης Λογοτεχνίας και του Ευριπίδη),καταπληκτικά όλα.
 
Τελευταία επεξεργασία από έναν συντονιστή:
Κάποια με άφησαν αδιάφορη διαβάζοντάς τα και απορώ που τα βλέπω τόσο ψηλά σε προτιμήσεις.

Από την άλλη, αφού υπάρχει μέσα ο Φλωμπέρ, ο Ίψεν και ο Ευριπίδης, είμαι ικανοποιημένη.

Βέβαια έχουν παραληφθεί μερικοί πραγματικά σπουδαίοι συγγραφείς, αλλά τέλος πάντων.
